Jedi Mind Tricks in SF tonight!

I just found out that DJ Beyonder is with them, along with Esoteric. Vinnie Paz is one of my favorite people on the planet. HELL AWAITS!



The Independent's calendar links to the wrong MySpace pages for the opening acts, The Armada and Bound By Honor. One of the links goes to Thee Armada. Imagine them playing with Vinnie Paz. Ha.


Thee Armada. NOT on the Hell Awaits tour.

Bay Rap Spindig

I pulled out some classics to play at the next Spindig Happy Hour. Come through and hear 'em along with DJs B.Cause and Joe Bank$!

After that, Andre Nickatina at DNA Lounge, right across the street.

Spindig with Shezilla this Friday!

This month's Spindig Happy Hour is gonna be a blast. We're celebrating Shezilla's birthday as well as her return to the turntables. I've become obsessed with the Runaways of late, so I will be playing "Cherry Bomb" every hour on the hour. When you hear it, it means it's time to enjoy one: Black Cherry Vodka + Squirt + a cherry (the bomb).

Sunday Night Super Fun Times

Gonna start getting ready soon for the New York Dolls show tonight! Don't want to miss the opening band, The Cliks.

New York Dolls Zune Green Room Trailer from zuneartcs on Vimeo.

After that we're heading to the Boom Boom Room for DJ Kirk's annual In 'N Out party, a 60s and 70s mod soul night. Wanna see some of those vintage scooters!



I'll be doing the jerk, not to be confused with jerkin', which I also do, or try to anyway.

Bun B tonight, New York Dolls tomorrow

Bun B and Mike Jones at Mezzanine tonight. But why did GA tickets go from $30 to $20?


Bun B at SXSW 2009, by Serg

The New York Dolls rocked so hard at SXSW, I can't wait to see them at the Grand tomorrow.


NYD at SXSW 2009, by me

Last Thursday night we checked out the Red Bull 45s party at the California Academy of Sciences' NightLife. It was so awesome -- the space, the DJs (Jazzy Jay! Shortkut, John Doe, Platurn, Ted Shred), the fish, the exhibits, and seeing old friends. Big ups to B.Cause for getting us in and of course killin' it on the turntables.

Hordes of Chaos

Thrash legends Kreator bring the Hordes of Chaos Tour to Slim's tonight. Joined by Exodus, Belphegor and Warbringer. Serg brought a Warbringer album home from Amoeba recently and these guys are good. So although I've just heard of Warbringer, I'm just as excited to see them as Exodus. New album Waking Into Nightmares, out next month. Peep the interview:



My first thrash show, I think. I hope I don't get hurt.

Bad Brains Vans

I actually clicked on a banner and bought something.

The Vans Bad Brains ad appeared on the Warped Tour band list page which took me to the Vans Bad Brains page. I ordered the 46 LEs. I was excited enough about getting the shoes, but when I saw the packaging I was pleasantly surprised.




3 sets of laces!


Bad Brains cassette shoe bag

Now I don't want to wear them and get them dirty. But I will.
